Roosevelt and Wilson were white.

That's all we need to say to explain the thinking of these Friday the 13th'ers.

You go, girl!

I loved Hillary as FLOTUS and still love her.

I remember trying to argue with linfar (and others) that we are all on the same team as Democrats and the primary was a competition, not a war. Only you (at MyDD) seemed to understand that.

Sarah Palin is not one of us. Whatever her ideology really is, she caters to the right wing fundies who believe a wife must be submissive to her husband. It's like anti-feminism.

Canadian gal - don't fault yourself

but thanks. I have spent many years detecting dog whistles; it is unfortunately second nature. I say unfortunately, because if I had my druthers I'd rather live in a world where I didn't have to have my ears tuned that way.

Hugs!

I have never minced words - and do it less now that I am older. Birthday 63 on Sunday :)

And I can hurl insults with the best of them - since I grew up playing the dozens.

I am distressed however that we had to move into that mode since the disputes here rarely go that way, which is why I love The Moose. Civil disagreement yes - but no Mooseketeer is here for the express purpose of provocation.

There is enough of that gaming on other boards. Perhaps that's why there was a need to repel what felt invasive.

Anyway - Ahora - todo está bien chévere. ;)

Awesome.

many reasons one can say ol' sarah isn't a feminist - but that's not one of them.

The return of Denise Velez was pretty awesome.

Her shout out at Netroots in Vegas was so cool I can't even put it in words.

An honor really.

I think the least we can do is pay her a visit on Tuesdays over at Big Orange.

Most of us lurk or post there anyways. I guess we kind of forget when her stuff is up (that is what happens to me. ADD remember?). So with the help of other Moose I think we should link and crosspost her work every Tuesday over here. More of a reminder than anything. We should comment over at Kos and see if we can help get the word out.

Just an idea I'm throwing out there.

Yes, it was very offensive.

That is why I challenged the diary in the first place.

To me, it was as obnoxious as Glenn Beck quoting Pastor Martin Niemöller and wondering when the Obama Gestapo is going to come for him.

Perhaps the Diarist will learn from the experience, if she is still reading the traffic at this forum and in this thread. Let's hope so.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

I've been wanting you to show up since I read this.

You did not dissapoint at all. Thank you for having the ability to express a lot of what people think. Your comments in this diary are exactly what I felt. I didn't know quite how to express myself without hurling insults or being dragged down in to the mud. My only attempt at that upthread did not come out quite the way I wanted (and that was after editing a lot... lol). So again. Thank you!

the audacity of dope

Had not heard that one before.
